The Observatory and last days in Eilat

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

We made not one, but two visits to the Underwater Observatory, how crazy my kids are over marine life.

The turtle exibit;







This is an indoor aquarium with rare fish;





A baby aligator;





There was also one of those shows where the seats move. The "plot" was about a boy learning to dive and later saving a shark in Africa. The older two loved it but Davina started to cry. I have to admit that it did move a lot and was slightly scary, especially for a little one. They said all we had to do was put up a hand and I did. A girl came immediately. We climbed off and she gave us the option of either leaving or switching to non-moving seats. We stayed and Davina ended up enjoying it.

Notice that Talia has to have the work "coral" confirmed in French;



They were really interested in this Grouper because that was the fish I told them I petted on my dive.



Going up the oberservation tower involved almost 100 steps.

The view;



Looking towards Egypt;



Looking towards downtown Eilat;



It also had a very cool play area.

The children as emerging baby turtles;





I wish Davina's real birth had been so easy!

Back at Club Med, on the last day they set up a blowup toy in the pool for the kids.

It was actually a long wait till their turn and to entertain them, they did a big balloon release for Shabbat;













Daniel took this on the last evening before dinner;





I managed to edit that awful picture out!



The next day our flight was late so there was a lot of waiting in the airport.

The boys all had some sort of electrical toy;



The plane finally arrived;
